ATIEL & UEIL Joint Sustainability Committee 9.2.5 Implement a Used Oil Management Plan:
For businesses using large quantities of lubricants and greases, establish an oil management plan29
or disposal centers. Track the volume of lubricants used and disposed of to ensure proper handling and compliance with regulations.
By following these practical disposal guidelines, companies and individuals can significantly reduce the environmental impact of lubricants and greases at the end of their life. Recycling and responsible disposal not only ensure compliance with regulations but also contribute to a more sustainable future by minimizing waste and promoting resource recovery.
9.2.6 Adhere to Existing Extended Producer Responsibility Schemes
In several European countries, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes are in place to manage the collection and disposal of waste oils. These schemes are designed to ensure that producers take responsibility for the entire lifecycle of their products, including the end-of-life disposal. When lubricants are sold in these countries, adherence to these EPR schemes is often mandatory. It is crucial for companies involved in the lubricant industry to comply with these regulations to avoid legal liabilities and contribute to environmental sustainability.
. This plan should include a process for collection, storage, and transportation to recycling
